Collegewide Discussions on Core Values/Strategic Plan College Council will be facilitating collegewide discussions in the next 18 months (beginning Spring 2013 to Spring 2014 end) on three major areas: 1) updates on our strategic plans and determination of what are our core values; 2) "Who are We?"; and 3) reorganization of the college. The first two items need to happen in the March/April timeframe and the third needs to happen in the first part of the fall semester.
